By

Even in a depressed construction sector, Rotherham-based specialists, the Horbury Group, has secured a number of high profile contracts.

From its headquarters in the Moorgate area, the group combines a number of subsidiaries that specialise in areas including joinery, ceilings, dry lining, health and safety training, and recruitment.

They continue to win contracts in the public sector including a contract worth £4.4m, where the group have been appointed by Vinci to undertake facades, cladding and drywall works on the £57.2m redevelopment of Nottingham Trent University City Campus (pictured).

Following the demolition of Byron House, the current home of the Students' Union, the rebuild will commence and will include a new gym, music venue, shops, health centre and will be home of the new Students Union. There will also be 911 new student bedrooms developed in what will be state-of-the-art facilities.

Appointed by Morgan Sindall, Horbury will also be involved with the drywall, partitioning and steel frame structures on the new build and refurbishment project at St Mary's College in Hull in a contract worth £750k.

And in the North East, Horbury has secured contracts working on the North Shore Health Academy and 'my place' youth facility in Stockton on Tees.

The contract will see all three main Horbury Group companies involved in the project. MWS Joinery will be working on the insallation of door sets, skirting boards, window boards and general ironmongery. Horbury Building Systems will be undertaking drywall lining and partitions. While Titan Interior Solutions will be completing works on the flooring elements.

For the private sector, MWS Joinery, is helping to bring a historic building in Liverpool back to life, securing a contract worth £750k with Merepark to work on the redevelopment of Lewis's Apart Hotel in Liverpool.

The project will see the the renovation of the building into a 126 bed Apart Hotel, which will be situated over four levels. MWS will be undertaking the installation of doors, frames, window boards, iron mongery and will have an involvement in all general joinery on the project.

MWS has also secured a £650k contract for the joinery elements of work upon the "Clifton House Hotel" on Euston Road. Shepherd Construction is transforming the existing office building into a 260 bed Premier Inn Hotel. In addition, as part of the plans, Shepherd will also extend the current building height by three further storeys, where very high specification office space will be added offering spectacular panoramic views of the Capital.

Trevor Wragg, group managing director of the Horbury Group, said: "We are delighted to continue our expansion into the London market with this high profile, very visible project."

The Horbury Group, which formed in Sheffield in 1993 as Horbury Building Systems, has gone from strength-to-strength over recent years, increasing its turnover from £1.4m in its first year to £70m.
